Datto’s former SVP of Business Development Rob Rae has joined Pax8 to head up its community and partner ecosystems.
As CVP of Community and Ecosystems, Rae (pictured) will play a key role in growing Pax8’s relationship with MSPs, providing guidance and consultation to implement new programmes, and partnering with the channel team on industry events and community operations.
Rae will report to CCO Nick Heddy, who said: “Rob is a well-respected IT channel veteran and considered by many the most influential person in our partner ecosystem. He has dedicated his career to enabling the IT channel to grow, get efficient, and build thriving businesses.”
Rae also sits on several industry advisory boards, including the Board of Directors for CompTIA.
Rae added: “I have spent my career helping partners transform into modern MSPs, and in this new role, I will be able to leverage my experience across the entire technology stack.”
